The Chamber of Commerce of Peru in Spain (CCPE) commemorated its three decades of institutional activity with the publication of the book "Peru - Spain, the horizon of a perennial alliance." The official presentation of this work took place on October 29, 2026, at the Cuatrecasas Auditorium in Madrid, in a gathering that stood out for its sobriety and for the high representation of leaders from the external sector. This commemorative book is not simply a historical balance sheet, but a tool for deep analysis on the evolution of business cooperation and the investment flows that have defined the relationship between the two nations since the chamber was founded in 1995.
The work is organized around three strategic axes. The first explores institutionalism and the bilateral alliance, emphasizing legal security and corporate diplomacy as the foundations of mutual trust. It highlights how the legal framework and international agreements have provided the stability necessary for Spanish and Peruvian companies to develop long-term projects. The second axis delves into strategic sectors and cross-investment, providing figures that demonstrate the vitality of the bond. In 2025, bilateral trade experienced a notable 27% increase, reaching 3.768 billion dollars. Spain remains Peru’s largest trading partner in Europe and the second most important foreign investor, with cumulative investment of 5.227 billion dollars in key sectors such as infrastructure, energy, finance, and telecommunications.
Similarly, the book documents the reverse phenomenon: the growing interest of Peruvian companies in the Spanish market. With investment already surpassing 1.061 billion euros, Peru has become a relevant player in Spain, especially in sectors such as gastronomy, services, and technology. The third axis of the book looks to the future, proposing a roadmap based on innovation and sustainability. The General Manager of the CCPE, Aurelia Ramírez Quiroz, stressed during the event that the title of the work reflects the vision of an alliance that aspires to be eternal and adaptable to new global challenges.
The presentation event had the support of fundamental entities such as the Embassy of Peru in Spain, PromPerú, Marca Perú, and the Spain-Peru Foundation Council. The publication also records the CCPE’s impact as a bridge for internationalization, offering advisory services, training, and networking that have benefited hundreds of members over these 30 years. In short, this book celebrates the success of a strategic partnership that has transformed the economic reality of both countries, reaffirming the Chamber’s commitment to continue being the engine of this perennial alliance in the decades to come.
